Research Repository Systems

Chris Rusbridge writes about Research Repository Systems:

I promised to be more specific about what I would like to see in repositories that presented more value for less work overall, by offering facilities that allow it to become part of the researcher’s workflow. I’m going to refer to this as “the Research Repository System (RRS)” for convenience. [Digital Curation Blog]

He discusses seven facilities ...

• web orientation
• researcher identity management
• authoring support
• object disclosure control
• data management support
• persistent storage
• full preservation archive, and
• spinoffs
  
  

[Digital Curation Blog]

There is a summary picture.

I was interested to see Chris mention CRIS (Current Research Information System), something I have seen more mention of in Europe than in the US.
